IMHO...polyester never loses its color like cotton will in sunlight ... it does last!! But like someone else said...here in Wisconsin during the winter months....it feels great to be under a poly quilt!! LOL They ARE heavy!

Put a whole new twist on Knit, Those are wonderful and the handwork adds tremendously to the the quilts. To look at, they appear to be cotton. But to know that they are knit is a WOW factor all in it's self. Just proves how creative she is, and how you can make a silk purse out of a pigs ear. BEAUTIFUL, REALLY.

I use what ever I like at the time, I use a lot of poly cotton for backing, and my first quilt was poly top and cotton back........I just did my own thing.........I think I was a little more creative BEFORE I read the direction.s :D

I think those quilts are just beautiful, I would be proud to claim any of them :P

Wow! What a trip down memory lane! I remember those polyester fabrics well. Those quilts are works of art. And I love what you did with the applique. Amazing how versatile and creative fabric can be.

I love crazy quilts and I love the color combination on the pink rail fence. They are beautiful. And to look at the picture, they look like any other quilting fabric. They are beautifull to hang on the wall too, you know, for extra insulation! :)
